2 Samuel 7 (English Standard Version)

15 but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you.

17 In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
19 And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God!
20 And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord God!

Ephesians 3 (English Standard Version)

5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.
6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power.
8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things,
10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

15 But I will never take away my kindness and love from him, as I did in the case of Saul who I removed before you.
16 Your house and your kingdom will last forever; your dynasty will be secure forever.”
17 This is what Nathan explained to David—everything he was told in this divine revelation.
18 Then King David went and sat down in the presence of the Lord. He prayed, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is significant about my family, that you have brought me to this place?
19 God, you talk as if this was a small thing in your eyes, and you also have spoken about the future of my house, my family dynasty. Is this your usual way of dealing with human beings, Lord God?
20 What more can I, David, tell you? You know exactly what your servant is like, Lord God.
21 You're doing all this for me and you have explained it to me, your servant, and because of your promise and because it's what you want to do.

Ephesians 3 (Free Bible Version)

5 In past generations this wasn't made clear to anyone, but now it's been revealed to God's holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit
6 that foreigners are joint heirs, part of the same body, and in Christ Jesus share together in the promise through the good news.
7 I became a minister of this good news through the gift of God's grace that I was given by his power that was at work in me.
8 This grace was given to me, the least important of all Christians, in order to share with the foreigners the incredible value of Christ,
9 and to help everyone see the purpose of the mystery which from the very beginning was hidden in God who made everything.
10 God's plan was that the various aspects of his wisdom would be revealed through the church to the rulers and authorities in heaven.
11 This was in accordance with God's eternal purpose that he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord.
